Ps, mechanical tach cable drives are race car applications and I believe MAYBE some later 50-early 60s street car / off road / marine applications used a cable driven tach
My 64 300 had a mechanical tach drive distributor. Had the 360hp 413 in it, not the 390hp version. No tach though, so I suspect it was simple a matter of all dual points had a mechanical tach drive by that point? Another possibility was that in the 24 years from the time it was built till I bought it someone swapped it in, lol.
i possess the log ram intake[s] and linkage, the exhaust manifolds, and the distributor from a 300F.
the distributor is an iron, dual point, mechanical tach drive unit.
all these items are factory issue to the above car. they were acquired during my junkyard ownership days when this particular car was scrapped, and it was locally owned and well known at the time as being factory correct.
it was scrapped because it had been kicked outside to rot for many, many years, and was very rusty.
